Mini Audiobook Review: Thank you to Bibliolifestyle & Harper Perennial for the free book!

This book is out now.

If you are looking for a quick celebrity & athlete romance, give this one a try! This has been dubbed the book for fans of Taylor and Travis which I can totally see why people say that but I tried to keep the two separate.

I have only read one other Cotugno book and that was more fiction so there was very little romance. But this was spicier than I was anticipating! And from what I saw from other readers was that this was her spiciest book. Makes me anxious to see if Cotugno will do that more in her future works.

I really enjoyed this. Was it my favorite book of the year? No. But I didn't feel like I wasted my time reading it. It geared towards both of my favorite tropes - celebs and sports romance. With playoff season in the works, I was excited to have a baseball romance lined up.

I did do this one via audio and I had the book next to me to reference if needed. It was such a quick listen plus with dual POV narrated by Callie Dalton and Andrew Eiden - you know you are in for a treat! Both of these narrators did a great job with their characters and made the time go by really quick. One could easily knock this out in a day (under 7 hours).

I guess I understand why people have been rating this low but I enjoyed it for what it was. Perhaps the characters could have developed more if it were longer but then other areas might have dragged out.
